Checking formed Dasher brass?

Guys just got my setup for 6 dasher.

I'm forming lapua brass
Creating false shoulder with .264 expander
Varget and 105s .01 into the lands.

I guess my bug question is on the false shoulder. I setup my sizing due to where I get resistance the entire time in closing the bolt.

After shooting is there some way I can make sure I im not screwing the brass up?
 
If they come out the same or longer in length, that's no good !!! IMO means it's pulling brass from the web area.
Shorter and consistant in length, all good.

Addressing your big question: I ,too, prefer the false shoulder method where there is strong resistance thru the process of bolt closing. My case aol measurements come out fairly close. I Prefer the cream of method, instead of using bullets. I do anneal after creating the false shoulder prior to fire forming. Then anneal after the fire forming. I have never lost a case to splitting necks or shoulders, which I attribute to annealing. You'll be fine.
